Cranbury Post Office Dedication for hero Todd
BeamerMay 4, 2002

On Saturday, May 4th, a dedication ceremony was held at the Cranbury
post office. The United States Postal Service dedicated Cranbury's post office
to Todd Beamer, a Cranbury resident who gave his life aboard United flight 93
on September 11th. Todd Beamer, after uttering the now famous words "Let's
Roll," became an American hero when he and fellow passengers of United Flight
93 foiled the hijackers' attempt to reach a target believed to be in the
Nation's Capital. Mr. Beamer and the other heroes of Flight 93 gave their lives
so that further damage to our nation would be avoided.

The dedication was the result of federal legislation authored by
Congressman Rush Holt, co-sponsored by the entire New Jersey Congressional
delegation, and signed into law by President Bush. Many guests and speakers
attended including Congressman Holt, Post Office officials, Senator Jon S.
Corzine, Washington dignitaries, Cranbury Mayor Michael T. Mayes, the Township
Committee, Lisa Beamer, Todd's widow, and David Beamer, Todd's father. The
dedication was performed by Vito J. Cetta, District Manager/Executive-In-Charge
for the Postal Service's Central New Jersey Performance Cluster.
